He came to Britain,16, with a handful of qualifications. £5 in pocket and a burning ambition. Thirty-five years later, Vijay, 51, and his brother. Bhikhu. own a drug company which does $234 million worth of business each year. Together they are worth £280 million and now they have been jointly named “Entrepreneur of the Year”.
It is an inspirational tale. Yet despite their wealth and this award, Vijay remains modest about their success. He praises his mother: “She is an incredible lady. She taught us hard work, honesty and we have based our lives on those qualities.”
In 1967,Vijay kissed his mother goodbye to London to make his fortune. “I had little more than my qualifications and $5,” says Vijay. “But to go with those, I had a huge ambition to make something of myself,” he recalls. Typically, Vijay looks on the bright side. “When you start from zero, things can’t get any worse. You have only one way to go. and that’s up - if there is a hunger in your stomach for success.” Vijny says. “My brother and I were determined to better ourselves and Britain was the land of opportunity.”
By 1982, he had owned six chemist’s shops, when Bhikhu, a then financial analyst, joined him, adding some “financial discipline” to his company. Vijay says: “I simply couldn’t have done it without him.” As he puts it, “Brought up under one roof, we understand one another from A to Z.”
Vijay is keen to continue repaying the country he has made his own. “We hope we are mode citizens and would like to remain so,” he says. “We are lucky enough to live in a country that never stands in our way.” His message for young people is to do the same: “Identify your aim, and do not let anything discourage you from achieving that goal.”
4. What did Vijay possess when starting his business?
A. £280 million in cash. B. A small drug company.
C. The title “Entrepreneur of the Year”. D. Nothing but qualifications and ambition.
5. What is the recipe for Vijay’s success?
A. His brother’s financial aid. B. His identity of model citizen.
C. The perseverance in his goal. D. Encouraging quotes from mom.
6. Which can probably replace the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. We share something in common. B. We know each other inside out.
C. We count on each other in career. D. We two together create fire and water.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

C
“Why does grandpa have ear hair?” Just a few years ago my child was so curious to know “why” and “how” that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime. Now a soon-to-be fourth grader, she says that she dislikes school because “it’s not fun to learn.” I am shocked. As a scientist and parent, I have done everything I can to promote a love of learning in my children. Where did I go wrong?
My child’s experience is not unique. Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity defined as “spontaneous (自发的)” investigation and eagerness for new information-drops dramatically in children by the fourth grade.
In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science, Yale psychologist Frank C. Keil details the development of wonder — a spontaneous passion to explore, discover, and understand. He takes us on a journey from its early development, when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning, through the drop-off in wonder that often occurs, to the trap of life in a society that devalues wonder.
As Keil notes, children are particularly rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal mechanisms (因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years. They are sensitive to the others’ knowledge and goals, and they expertly use their desire for questioning. Children’s questions, particularly those about “why” and “how” support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their day-to-day reasoning.
Unfortunately, as Keil notes, “adults greatly underestimate young children’s causal mechanisms.” In the book, Wonder, Keil shows that we can support children’s ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.
A decline in wonder is not unavoidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a desirable positive quality that exists in everyone. I value wonder deeply, and Wonder has given me hope by proposing a future for my children that will remain wonder-full.
8. What is a common problem among fourth graders?
A. They upset their parents too often. B. They ask too many strange questions.
C. Their love for fun disappears quickly. D. Their desire to learn declines sharply.
9. What can be inferred about children’s causal mechanisms in paragraph 4?
A. They control children’s sensitivity. B. They slightly change in early childhood.
C. They hardly support children’s reasoning. D. They develop through children’s questioning.
10. How can parents support children’s ongoing wonder according to Keil?
A. By monitoring their games. B. By welcoming inquiring minds.
C. By estimating their abilities. D. By providing reasonable conclusions.
11. What is the text?
A. A book review. B. A news report. C. A research paper. D. A children’s story.
D
A start-up company backed by tech giants IBM and Microsoft plans to build thousands of artificial reefs across the globe to fight climate change by restoring coral reef (珊瑚礁) ecosystems.
The Reef Company plans to have its first reefs in the water by December 2022, and is encouraging more companies to fund reefs to offset (抵消) their carbon footprint. “We’ve calculated we need to build 2,500 reefs, each measuring 4 square kilometers, over the next 10 years to absorb the extra carbon we have on the planet at the moment,” says Jeroen van de Waal, founder of The Reef Company.
Coral reefs are home to 25% of all marine life. They provide a source of income for millions of people through fishing and tourism and protect coastal communities by reducing the power of waves before they reach the shore. Yet they’re under threat from global warming and 90% of all coral reefs could be lost by 2050 if nothing is done to protect them.
As well as improving biodiversity and storing carbon, The Reef Company, which is based in Portugal, hopes to give a boost to local economies and collect real-time data for researchers.
The artificial reefs are constructed from eco-friendly concrete made from recycled industrial waste and will feature consoles (控制台) filled with sensors that can measure how salty, warm and acid the ocean is. “The reefs will provide a continuously expanding set of connected sensors to gather and analyze data, generating insights in real time,” says Andrés Ortolá, managing director of Microsoft Portugal.
To act as a sink for carbon dioxide, the artificial reefs will need to support plants such as seagrass and mangroves alongside coral. While coral reefs use carbon to grow, the process also lowers the pH in the water, which results in the release of CO2. Benjamin Horton at the Earth Observatory of Singapore says artificial reefs will need to be well maintained to prove successful. “If the ecosystems are damaged, their carbon sink capacity will be affected, and the carbon stored will be released.”
12. What does the author mainly try to do in paragraph 3?
A. Warn more companies of the extinction of coral reefs.
B. Emphasize the economic benefits of artificial coral reefs.
C. Show coral reefs play a role in fighting global warming.
D. Tell why the efforts of The Reef Company are important.
13. Why are the artificial coral reefs equipped with sensors?
A. To help natural coral reefs recover. B. To monitor new industrial resources.
C. To keep track of ocean animals’ health. D. To collect real-time data of the ocean.
14. What can we learn about Benjamin Horton?
A. He shows no interest in the plan. B. He is worried about the project.
C. He finds artificial reefs useless. D. He is hopeful about ecosystems.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. An attempt to fight climate change. B. A company devoted to studying reefs.
C. A creative way to build artificial reefs. D. An international cooperation in science.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。有两项为多余选项。
Success in life comes from the action you take on a consistent basis and only self-discipline allows you to do that. Here are several powerful ways to build unbreakable self-discipline.
____16____ If you choose what is fun and easy over what is necessary, you will never reach the levels of success and happiness you are capable of achieving in your life. ____17____ If success was easy, everybody would be successful. But because success in any area of your life requires hard work and sacrifice, most people will never reach their full potential.
People often think that their lives will suddenly change through some magical event in the future, but that is not the case. Your life changes only to the extent that you change. If you are not happy with your current circumstances, are you taking action to change them? ____18____ A great way to actively create your future is to ask yourself: If I already achieved my goals, how would I act on a daily basis? What books would I read, how often would I work out, and how would I spend my time at the office? ____19____ Act as if you were already successful.
The great tragedy of life is that most people give up right before achieving success. They already made it to the five-yard line, and all they need is one final push to make the touchdown and bring home the sweet victory. But right before they do that, there is one final obstacle standing in their way—one last failure that they need to overcome. Whenever you encounter failure and difficulty, keep going! No matter how long it takes or how hard it gets, always remember the words of motivational speaker Les Brown: “____20____”
If you make these, you will succeed at anything you set your mind to. Maybe not immediately, but definitely.
A. It's not over until I win.
B. If not, you are just daydreaming.
C. The real secret of success is enthusiasm.
D. Once you answer these questions, you know what to do.
E. That's because every great victory requires great sacrifice.
F. The biggest enemy to success is the path of least resistance.
G. It's not what we take up but what we give up that makes us rich.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My father was the kind of person who could never pass by someone who needed help. He was a firm believer in the mantra (箴言): What goes around comes around. He believed that someday he might need help, and someone would return the favor. But I didn’t quite buy it.
One weekend, my father and I took a trip to Flaming Gorge Reservoir (水库). We loved to fish at Flaming Gorge. We owned a cabin boat that was about fifteen feet in length. We put our boat in at Sheep Creek Marina (游艇停泊港). Our goal was to go as far north as possible, spend the weekend in our boat, and fish until we had our limit.
Heading toward the Wyoming side of the reservoir, we traveled some distance before we began to fish. Frankly, the fishing wasn’t very good, but we loved being out on the boat together in such a beautiful place.
Suddenly, we saw a man on the far shore waving at us. Immediately, my father fired up the motor and went toward the other side of the reservoir, where the man was still waving at us. When we arrived, I was amazed to see a beautiful big yacht (游艇) pulled onto the shore.
The man introduced himself as Mat and then thanked us warmly for coming to his assistance. His battery was dead, and he wondered if we could help him. We did, and soon his big motor roared back to life. Mat and his family were very grateful. We lost an hour of fishing. Being an impatient teenager, I was a bit annoyed at the one-hour loss, but we were soon back out on the reservoir.
The next day the fishing didn’t improve. As a matter of fact, it was terrible, so we decided to call it quits and go back to the marina. We were about two miles from the marina when we found ourselves fighting a strong headwind that slowed our progress. The waves were kicking up, and suddenly our engine decided to quit.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We tried to get it running, but it simply wouldn’t start.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On our way home, I saw an old lady waving at our car by the roadside.

He came to Britain,16, with a handful of qualifications. £5 in pocket and a burning ambition. Thirty-five years later, Vijay, 51, and his brother. Bhikhu. own a drug company which does $234 million worth of business each year. Together they are worth £280 million and now they have been jointly named “Entrepreneur of the Year”.
It is an inspirational tale. Yet despite their wealth and this award, Vijay remains modest about their success. He praises his mother: “She is an incredible lady. She taught us hard work, honesty and we have based our lives on those qualities.”
In 1967,Vijay kissed his mother goodbye to London to make his fortune. “I had little more than my qualifications and $5,” says Vijay. “But to go with those, I had a huge ambition to make something of myself,” he recalls. Typically, Vijay looks on the bright side. “When you start from zero, things can’t get any worse. You have only one way to go. and that’s up - if there is a hunger in your stomach for success.” Vijny says. “My brother and I were determined to better ourselves and Britain was the land of opportunity.”
By 1982, he had owned six chemist’s shops, when Bhikhu, a then financial analyst, joined him, adding some “financial discipline” to his company. Vijay says: “I simply couldn’t have done it without him.” As he puts it, “Brought up under one roof, we understand one another from A to Z.”
Vijay is keen to continue repaying the country he has made his own. “We hope we are mode citizens and would like to remain so,” he says. “We are lucky enough to live in a country that never stands in our way.” His message for young people is to do the same: “Identify your aim, and do not let anything discourage you from achieving that goal.”
4. What did Vijay possess when starting his business?
A. £280 million in cash. B. A small drug company.
C. The title “Entrepreneur of the Year”. D. Nothing but qualifications and ambition.
5. What is the recipe for Vijay’s success?
A. His brother’s financial aid. B. His identity of model citizen.

A. We share something in common. B. We know each other inside out.
C. We count on each other in career. D. We two together create fire and water.

“Why does grandpa have ear hair?” Just a few years ago my child was so curious to know “why” and “how” that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime. Now a soon-to-be fourth grader, she says that she dislikes school because “it’s not fun to learn.” I am shocked. As a scientist and parent, I have done everything I can to promote a love of learning in my children. Where did I go wrong?
My child’s experience is not unique. Developmental psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity defined as “spontaneous (自发的)” investigation and eagerness for new information-drops dramatically in children by the fourth grade.
In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science, Yale psychologist Frank C. Keil details the development of wonder — a spontaneous passion to explore, discover, and understand. He takes us on a journey from its early development, when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning, through the drop-off in wonder that often occurs, to the trap of life in a society that devalues wonder.
As Keil notes, children are particularly rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal mechanisms (因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years. They are sensitive to the others’ knowledge and goals, and they expertly use their desire for questioning. Children’s questions, particularly those about “why” and “how” support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their day-to-day reasoning.
Unfortunately, as Keil notes, “adults greatly underestimate young children’s causal mechanisms.” In the book, Wonder, Keil shows that we can support children’s ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.
A decline in wonder is not unavoidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a desirable positive quality that exists in everyone. I value wonder deeply, and Wonder has given me hope by proposing a future for my children that will remain wonder-full.
8. What is a common problem among fourth graders?
A. They upset their parents too often. B. They ask too many strange questions.
C. Their love for fun disappears quickly. D. Their desire to learn declines sharply.
9. What can be inferred about children’s causal mechanisms in paragraph 4?
A. They control children’s sensitivity. B. They slightly change in early childhood.
C. They hardly support children’s reasoning. D. They develop through children’s questioning.
10. How can parents support children’s ongoing wonder according to Keil?
A. By monitoring their games. B. By welcoming inquiring minds.
C. By estimating their abilities. D. By providing reasonable conclusions.
11. What is the text?
A. A book review. B. A news report. C. A research paper. D. A children’s story.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】

A start-up company backed by tech giants IBM and Microsoft plans to build thousands of artificial reefs across the globe to fight climate change by restoring coral reef (珊瑚礁) ecosystems.
The Reef Company plans to have its first reefs in the water by December 2022, and is encouraging more companies to fund reefs to offset (抵消) their carbon footprint. “We’ve calculated we need to build 2,500 reefs, each measuring 4 square kilometers, over the next 10 years to absorb the extra carbon we have on the planet at the moment,” says Jeroen van de Waal, founder of The Reef Company.
Coral reefs are home to 25% of all marine life. They provide a source of income for millions of people through fishing and tourism and protect coastal communities by reducing the power of waves before they reach the shore. Yet they’re under threat from global warming and 90% of all coral reefs could be lost by 2050 if nothing is done to protect them.
As well as improving biodiversity and storing carbon, The Reef Company, which is based in Portugal, hopes to give a boost to local economies and collect real-time data for researchers.
The artificial reefs are constructed from eco-friendly concrete made from recycled industrial waste and will feature consoles (控制台) filled with sensors that can measure how salty, warm and acid the ocean is. “The reefs will provide a continuously expanding set of connected sensors to gather and analyze data, generating insights in real time,” says Andrés Ortolá, managing director of Microsoft Portugal.
To act as a sink for carbon dioxide, the artificial reefs will need to support plants such as seagrass and mangroves alongside coral. While coral reefs use carbon to grow, the process also lowers the pH in the water, which results in the release of CO2. Benjamin Horton at the Earth Observatory of Singapore says artificial reefs will need to be well maintained to prove successful. “If the ecosystems are damaged, their carbon sink capacity will be affected, and the carbon stored will be released.”
12. What does the author mainly try to do in paragraph 3?
A. Warn more companies of the extinction of coral reefs.
B. Emphasize the economic benefits of artificial coral reefs.
C. Show coral reefs play a role in fighting global warming.
D. Tell why the efforts of The Reef Company are important.
13. Why are the artificial coral reefs equipped with sensors?
A. To help natural coral reefs recover. B. To monitor new industrial resources.
C. To keep track of ocean animals’ health. D. To collect real-time data of the ocean.
14. What can we learn about Benjamin Horton?
A. He shows no interest in the plan. B. He is worried about the project.
C. He finds artificial reefs useless. D. He is hopeful about ecosystems.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. An attempt to fight climate change. B. A company devoted to studying reefs.
C. A creative way to build artificial reefs. D. An international cooperation in science.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. A

Success in life comes from the action you take on a consistent basis and only self-discipline allows you to do that. Here are several powerful ways to build unbreakable self-discipline.
____16____ If you choose what is fun and easy over what is necessary, you will never reach the levels of success and happiness you are capable of achieving in your life. ____17____ If success was easy, everybody would be successful. But because success in any area of your life requires hard work and sacrifice, most people will never reach their full potential.
People often think that their lives will suddenly change through some magical event in the future, but that is not the case. Your life changes only to the extent that you change. If you are not happy with your current circumstances, are you taking action to change them? ____18____ A great way to actively create your future is to ask yourself: If I already achieved my goals, how would I act on a daily basis? What books would I read, how often would I work out, and how would I spend my time at the office? ____19____ Act as if you were already successful.
The great tragedy of life is that most people give up right before achieving success. They already made it to the five-yard line, and all they need is one final push to make the touchdown and bring home the sweet victory. But right before they do that, there is one final obstacle standing in their way—one last failure that they need to overcome. Whenever you encounter failure and difficulty, keep going! No matter how long it takes or how hard it gets, always remember the words of motivational speaker Les Brown: “____20____”
If you make these, you will succeed at anything you set your mind to. Maybe not immediately, but definitely.
A. It's not over until I win.
B. If not, you are just daydreaming.
C. The real secret of success is enthusiasm.
D. Once you answer these questions, you know what to do.
E. That's because every great victory requires great sacrifice.
F. The biggest enemy to success is the path of least resistance.
G. It's not what we take up but what we give up that makes us rich.

【解析】
【导语】本文的体裁是说明文。文章主要介绍了马面裙的起源、特点以及它在现代中国年轻人中的流行情况,同时探讨了新中式这一趋势的兴起和影响。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意:马面裙起源于宋朝。本句描述过去的动作,故时态用一般过去时,谓语用originate“起源”的过去式。故填originated。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它是一种传统服饰,设计特点是色彩鲜艳的丝绸褶皱,营造出惊人的视觉效果。本空引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是a traditional dress,指物,关系词代替先行词在从句中作定语修饰名词design,应用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:裙子的流行被包裹进了一个更广泛的趋势,被称为新中式,即融合各种当代设计与中国传统美学。本空应用名词popularity“流行”,作主语。故填popularity。
【39题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:自2024年4月初以来,在中国社交媒体平台微博和小红书上,新中式和新中式服装标签的搜索量已超过1亿次。根据have exceeded可知,本空用search“搜索”的复数形式,作主语。故填searches。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在一篇帖子中,她展示了如何将一件超大号的粉色运动衫搭配黑色马面裙,再配上配套的棒球帽和运动鞋。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语动词demonstrated,且句中没有连词,所以本空用非谓语动词,pair“使成对,配对”与逻辑主语she之间是主动关系,所以应用现在分词形式,作状语。故填pairing。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:越来越多的年轻人愿意运用传统文化作为一种新的方式来表达他们的态度。固定短语be willing to do sth.表示“愿意做某事”,本空用apply“应用”的不定式。故填to apply。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:她认为,在过去十年左右的时间里,随着中国年轻人越来越意识到自己在世界上的地位,越来越拥抱中国的文化和历史,这种趋势已经发生了转变。becoming more aware of their place in the world与hugging China’s culture and history为并列关系,用连词and连接。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2024年3月,中国抖音发布的一份报告显示,与去年相比,其电商平台上马面裙的销量增长了841%。本句已有谓语动词showed,且句中没有连词,所以本空用非谓语动词,作定语修饰report,且release与report之间是被动关系,所以应用过去分词形式。故填released。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:2024年3月,中国抖音发布的一份报告显示,与去年相比,其电商平台上马面裙的销量增长了841%。此处泛指“一个增长”,且841%以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an。故填an。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意:2024年3月,中国抖音发布的一份报告显示,与去年相比,其电商平台上马面裙的销量增长了841%。固定短语compared with/to表示“与……相比”,所以本空填with或to。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My father was the kind of person who could never pass by someone who needed help. He was a firm believer in the mantra (箴言): What goes around comes around. He believed that someday he might need help, and someone would return the favor. But I didn’t quite buy it.
One weekend, my father and I took a trip to Flaming Gorge Reservoir (水库). We loved to fish at Flaming Gorge. We owned a cabin boat that was about fifteen feet in length. We put our boat in at Sheep Creek Marina (游艇停泊港). Our goal was to go as far north as possible, spend the weekend in our boat, and fish until we had our limit.
Heading toward the Wyoming side of the reservoir, we traveled some distance before we began to fish. Frankly, the fishing wasn’t very good, but we loved being out on the boat together in such a beautiful place.
Suddenly, we saw a man on the far shore waving at us. Immediately, my father fired up the motor and went toward the other side of the reservoir, where the man was still waving at us. When we arrived, I was amazed to see a beautiful big yacht (游艇) pulled onto the shore.
The man introduced himself as Mat and then thanked us warmly for coming to his assistance. His battery was dead, and he wondered if we could help him. We did, and soon his big motor roared back to life. Mat and his family were very grateful. We lost an hour of fishing. Being an impatient teenager, I was a bit annoyed at the one-hour loss, but we were soon back out on the reservoir.
The next day the fishing didn’t improve. As a matter of fact, it was terrible, so we decided to call it quits and go back to the marina. We were about two miles from the marina when we found ourselves fighting a strong headwind that slowed our progress. The waves were kicking up, and suddenly our engine decided to quit.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We tried to get it running, but it simply wouldn’t start.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On our way home, I saw an old lady waving at our car by the roadside.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We tried to get it running, but it simply wouldn’t start. With each unsuccessful attempt, our frustration mounted. The once-reliable engine now lay silent, leaving us adrift helplessly on the vast reservoir. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Mat pulled up alongside us and asked if he could be of assistance. His friendly smile reassured us almost immediately, easing our worry. I was amazed that of all the people on the reservoir, Mat would be the person to show up to give us aid. Gratefully accepting his kind offer, we secured our boat to his. Chatting and laughing all the way, we returned to the marina safe and sound and were ready for home.
On our way home, I saw an old lady waving at our car by the roadside. Obviously, she was in need of help. Without thinking twice, I asked my father to pull over beside her, which my father did immediately. As we approached the lady, her face lit up with a glimmer of hope. She explained that her car had broken down, leaving her trapped on the way. We assured her that we would help. As the engine roared back to life, the old lady’s gratitude overflowed. As we waved the grateful lady goodbye, my heart swelled with a newfound understanding of my father’s mantra. What goes around really comes around. I finally had a chance to witness my father’s mantra in action and follow in his footsteps.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。作者的父亲喜欢帮助别人,父亲相信一报还一报。有一天,作者和父亲出海钓鱼,作者认为浪费了很多时间帮助马特发动游艇。第二天,父子二人捕鱼时,突然海上起了风浪,而且船的引擎突然熄火。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“我们试着让它运转起来,但根本无法启动。”可知,第一段可以描写他们发动引擎的动作,作者的心理活动,得到帮助时的心情。
②由第二段句首内容“在回家的路上,我看到一位老太太在路边向我们的车挥手。”可知,第二段可以描写回家路上看到老太太需要帮助时作者的动作和心理变化,最后升华文章的主旨:一报还一报。
2.续写线索:发动引擎—失败—得到帮助—回家—路遇老太太—提供帮助—感悟
